<TITLE>Psalms 038</TITLE><BR>Psalms 38 <BR>1 O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.<BR>2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.<BR>3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.<BR>4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.<BR>5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.<BR>6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.<BR>7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.<BR>8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.<BR>9 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.<BR>10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.<BR>11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.<BR>12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.<BR>13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.<BR>14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.<BR>15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.<BR>16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.<BR>17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.<BR>18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.<BR>19 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.<BR>20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.<BR>21 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.<BR>22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.<BR><BR><BR>
